Holmes has been dubbed ‘America’s first serial killer’, and some, like Mudgett, believe he was responsible for the brutal murders in London’s Whitechapel.

His stateside murders were carried out at a hotel in Englewood near Chicago and he admitted to killing 27 people, though is accused of 200 more deaths.

“We did a study with the FBI and CIA and Scotland Yard regarding handwriting analysis,” the lawyer says in the documentary. “‘It turns out [Holmes] was Jack the Ripper. This means Meghan is related to Jack the Ripper. I don’t think the Queen knows.”

Viewers were left amused and confused by the show because of the dry presenting style of Dimoldenberg that has been compared to a cross between Louis Theroux and Debbie Morgan’s character Philomena Cunk.

#meetthemarkles This presenter is the lovechild of Louis Theroux and Philomena Cunk. Love her style!

Now I love channel 4 but from this show #MeetTheMarkles#MeghanMarkle is descendent from Jack the Ripper, the biggest drug cartel in the world, the biggest stoners ever found, the biggest hicks in America and a ginger kid that didn’t even come from #PrinceCharles??? Well ok then
